+# Architecture Overview
+
+## Technology Stack
+
+### Frontend Framework
+- **Next.js 15.4.5** - React framework with App Router
+- **React 19.1.0** - UI library with latest features
+- **TypeScript** - Type-safe development
+
+### Database & ORM
+- **Prisma 6.14.0** - Database ORM with type generation
+- **MySQL** - Production database
+- **SQLite** - Development database (`prisma/dev.db`)
+
+### Authentication & State Management
+- **NextAuth.js 4.24.7** - Authentication with JWT strategy
+- **React Query** - Server state management and caching
+- **Zustand** - Client-side state management
+
+### Styling & UI
+- **Tailwind CSS 4** - Utility-first CSS framework
+- **Headless UI** - Unstyled accessible components
+- **Heroicons** - Icon library
+- **Framer Motion** - Animation library
+
+### Development & Testing
+- **Jest** - Unit testing framework
+- **Playwright** - End-to-end testing
+- **ESLint** - Code linting
+- **TypeScript** - Static type checking
+
+## Deployment Model
+
+### Current Architecture: Dynamic Server
+
+The application is configured for server-side rendering with dynamic features:
+
+```typescript
+// next.config.ts - Current configuration
+const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
+  // Static export disabled due to NextAuth incompatibility
+  // output: 'export',
+  images: { unoptimized: true },
+  basePath: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? '' : '',
+};
+```
+
+### Static Export Limitation
+
+⚠️ **Important**: Static export (`output: 'export'`) is **disabled** because:
+
+1. **NextAuth.js Incompatibility**: Requires server-side session handling
+2. **API Routes**: Admin dashboard needs server-side API endpoints
+3. **Database Operations**: Dynamic RSVP processing requires server runtime
+
+### Future Considerations
+
+If dynamic features are not required, static export could be enabled by:
+
+1. Removing NextAuth.js authentication
+2. Converting API routes to client-side operations
+3. Using external services for form processing
+4. Enabling `output: 'export'` in Next.js config
+
+However, this would eliminate admin functionality and database integration.

+
+## State Management Boundaries
+
+### Server Data (React Query)
+- RSVP submissions and responses
+- Guest information and dietary preferences
+- Wedding event details and schedules
+- Photo gallery content
+- Admin dashboard data
+
+```typescript
+// Example: RSVP data fetching
+const { data: rsvpData, isLoading } = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['rsvp', rsvpCode],
+  queryFn: () => fetchRSVPData(rsvpCode),
+});
+```
+
+### Local UI State (Zustand)
+- Form input states and validation
+- Modal and overlay visibility
+- Navigation and menu states
+- User preferences and settings
+
+```typescript
+// Example: UI state store
+interface UIStore {
+  isMenuOpen: boolean;
+  activeModal: string | null;
+  toggleMenu: () => void;
+  openModal: (modal: string) => void;
+}
+```
+
+### Session State (NextAuth)
+- Admin authentication status
+- User session data
+- Protected route access
+
+## Data Flow Architecture
+
+### Client-Side Data Flow
+```
+User Interaction → Component State → React Query → API Route → Database
+                ↓
+Component Re-render ← State Update ← Response Processing ← Database Response
+```
+
+### Authentication Flow
+```
+Login Request → NextAuth.js → JWT Token → Session Storage → Protected Routes
+```
+
+### RSVP Processing Flow
+```
+Guest Input → Form Validation → API Submission → Database Update → Confirmation
+```
+
+## API Architecture
+
+### RESTful Endpoints
+- `GET/POST /api/rsvp` - RSVP management
+- `GET/POST /api/guests` - Guest information
+- `GET/POST /api/events` - Wedding events
+- `GET/POST /api/gallery` - Photo gallery
+- `POST /api/auth/[...nextauth]` - Authentication
+
+### Error Handling Strategy
+```typescript
+// Consistent API response format
+interface APIResponse<T> {
+  data?: T;
+  error?: string;
+  status: number;
+}
+```
+
+### Request Validation
+- Zod schemas for type-safe validation
+- Server-side validation before database operations
+- Client-side validation for better UX
+
+## Database Schema Design
+
+### Core Entities
+- **Guests** - Visitor information and contact details
+- **RSVPs** - Response tracking and dietary preferences  
+- **Events** - Wedding ceremony and reception details
+- **Photos** - Gallery content with metadata
+- **Admin** - Authentication and management users
+
+### Relationships
+```prisma
+model Guest {
+  id        String   @id @default(cuid())
+  name      String
+  email     String?
+  rsvps     RSVP[]
+  createdAt DateTime @default(now())
+}
+
+model RSVP {
+  id          String   @id @default(cuid())
+  guestId     String
+  guest       Guest    @relation(fields: [guestId], references: [id])
+  attending   Boolean
+  dietary     String?
+  createdAt   DateTime @default(now())
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Build Optimizations
+- Next.js automatic code splitting
+- Image optimization with `next/image`
+- Bundle analysis with `ANALYZE=1 npm run build`
+- Tree shaking for unused code elimination
+
+### Runtime Performance
+- Server-side rendering for fast initial loads
+- React Query caching for reduced API calls
+- Lazy loading for non-critical components
+- Optimized images and assets
+
+### Database Performance
+- Prisma query optimization
+- Connection pooling in production
+- Indexed fields for common queries
+- Efficient data fetching patterns
+
+## Security Architecture
+
+### Authentication Security
+- JWT tokens with secure secrets
+- Session-based admin protection
+- CSRF protection via NextAuth.js
+- Secure cookie configuration
+
+### Data Protection
+- Environment variable isolation
+- Database connection encryption
+- Input validation and sanitization
+- XSS prevention with React's built-in escaping
+
+### Deployment Security
+- HTTPS enforcement
+- Security headers configuration
+- Regular dependency updates
+- Vulnerability scanning with `npm audit`
+
+## Monitoring and Logging
+
+### Error Tracking
+- Client-side error boundaries
+- Server-side error logging
+- Database operation monitoring
+- Performance metrics collection
+
+### Development Tools
+- TypeScript for compile-time checks
+- ESLint for code quality
+- Playwright for E2E testing
+- Jest for unit testing
+
+## Scalability Considerations
+
+### Current Limitations
+- Single MySQL database instance
+- Server-side rendering bottlenecks
+- File-based session storage
+
+### Future Enhancements
+- Database replication for read operations
+- CDN integration for static assets
+- Redis for session and query caching
+- Horizontal scaling with load balancers
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### External Services
+- **Cloudinary** - Image upload and optimization
+- **Resend** - Email delivery service
+- **Google Maps** - Venue location integration
+- **Calendar APIs** - Event scheduling
+
+### Third-Party Libraries
+- Tailwind for styling consistency
+- Framer Motion for smooth animations
+- React Hook Form for form management
+- Date-fns for date manipulation
+
+## Development Environment
+
+### Local Development
+- SQLite database for quick setup
+- Hot reload with Turbopack
+- Environment variable isolation
+- Mock services for external APIs
+
+### Testing Environment
+- Jest for unit testing
+- Playwright for integration tests
+- Test database isolation
+- Mocked external services
+
+### Production Environment
+- MySQL database with proper credentials
+- PM2 process management
+- Nginx reverse proxy
+- SSL/TLS termination
+
+This architecture ensures a robust, scalable, and maintainable wedding website that can handle the special requirements of Incia & Arvin's celebration while providing excellent user experience for all wedding guests.
